Oklahoma Legislator Attempts to Head Off Soylent Green Future

The senator says that his research shows there are companies in the food industry that have used human stem cells to help them research and develop products, including artificial flavorings.

“I don’t know if it is happening in Oklahoma, it may be, it may not be. What I am saying is that if it does happen then we are not going to allow it to manufacture here,” Shortey tells KRMG’s Nicole Burgin.

To that end, his proposed statute reads, “No person or entity shall manufacture or knowingly sell food or any other product intended for human consumption which contains aborted human fetuses in the ingredients or which used aborted human fetuses in the research or development of any of the ingredients.”

“I don’t know if it is happening in Oklahoma, it may be, it may not be.”

Let me repeat:

“I don’t know if it is happening in Oklahoma, it may be, it may not be.”
